  Just made this one, can you help to Stop the last Rectangle when a new one is formed?

  TopImbalance = low[2] <= open[1] and high[0] >= close[1] TopImbalancesize = low[2] - high[0] if TopImbalance and TopImbalancesize > 0 then drawcandle(low[2], low[2], high[0], high[0]) coloured(255,255,0) if Tracage then drawrectangle(BarIndex[2],low[2],BarIndex + 10,high[0])coloured (255,204,204,255) bordercolor(204,0,0) endif endif BottomInbalance = high[2] >= open[1] and low[0] <= close[1] BottomInbalancesize = low[0] - high[2] if BottomInbalance and BottomInbalancesize > 0 then drawcandle(low[0], low[0], high[2], high[2]) coloured(255,255,0) if Tracage then drawrectangle(BarIndex[2],high[2],BarIndex + 10,low[0]) coloured(204,255,204,255) bordercolor(0,204,0) endif endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

  TopImbalance = low[2] <= open[1] and high[0] >= close[1] TopImbalancesize = low[2] - high[0] if TopImbalance and TopImbalancesize > 0 then drawcandle(low[2], low[2], high[0], high[0]) coloured(255,255,0) if Tracage then drawrectangle(BarIndex[2],low[2],BarIndex + 10,high[0])coloured (255,204,204,255) bordercolor(204,0,0) endif endif BottomInbalance = high[2] >= open[1] and low[0] <= close[1] BottomInbalancesize = low[0] - high[2] if BottomInbalance and BottomInbalancesize > 0 then drawcandle(low[0], low[0], high[2], high[2]) coloured(255,255,0) if Tracage then   drawrectangle(BarIndex[2],high[2],BarIndex + 10,low[0]) coloured(204,255,204,255) bordercolor(0,204,0) endif endif return

  Add this line at the very beginning of your code:

  Defparam DrawOnLastBarOnly = True

  1	Defparam DrawOnLastBarOnly = True

  Thank you

  I have 2 questions:

  1. How to limite a nombre of rectangle drawing in the past instead of having only the last?

  For example to have the last 10 rectangle only?

  2) How can i display a rectangle for example of a 15 minutes time frame in a 2 minutes chart?

  1/ Must use arrays for that: store each of the coordinates of the rectangle into different variables arrays and plot them in the past from the last candle.

  (I’m looking for an example in the forum..)

  2/ use TIMEFRAME instruction to store the values from that timeframe only.

  So i have to declare the time frame

  timeframe(1 hour) for example, i want to declare variables true or false for different time frame

  for example in the picture below

  There is no way to create a condition block that embed the TIMEFRAME instruction. However there is a workaround with CALL, see complete discussion here: https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/condition-et-timeframe/

  Here is a draft version of the MTF indicator:

  Thanks for the feedback, so I can't change line 6 by putting in place of the 15 minutes a variable that I can change manually? for example T

  In order to change the timeframe, change it at line 6 with any other ones, as described with the examples in the code 🙂
